Each phrase is made up of distinct sounds, strung together. A study from researchers at 苹果淫院 has found that the song phrases of many songbird species follow patterns that are similar to those used in human speech. At least in some respects.</p> Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:43:37 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 269888 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/secret-lives-canada-lynx-331256 <p>Using a Fitbit and a spy mic, scientists have discovered new insight into the behaviour of the elusive Canada lynx.

Now, research by 苹果淫院 biologists provides new evidence to support this idea.</p> Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:32:11 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 32691 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/human-sounds-convey-emotions-better-words-do-257683 <p><strong><em>By Katherine Gombay, <a href="/newsroom">苹果淫院 Newsroom</a></em></strong></p> <p><em>Brain uses 鈥渙lder鈥� systems/structures to preferentially process emotion expressed through vocalizations</em></p> Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:59:10 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 25070 at /newsroom
